It would be great to allow bulk data insert in this module using a CSV or any other delimited file. Do you plan to implement this feature some time soon?

This is definitly a functionality i'd like to have. I will look into the import/export module
http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi to see how it can be used with moviedb. I'll let you know.

I know this is on the back-burner right now, but I just wanted to voice my support for it, if it can happen. I'm using Griffith for a movie db [http://griffith.berlios.de] and it would be great if I could transfer my db of about 900 films to drupal, and not one-by-one... ;-)

I just wanted to post a link to this discussion:

It has to do with the node import module. Apparently you can modify it to bulk-import to other types of nodes aside from the generic page or story. I was trying to do this, using a slimmed-down version of the moviedb module (this one only has one table for the movie info, and doesn't deal with separate actor names, producers, etc.)

I'm stuck, and can't take it any further, but I thought that someone here might have an idea or two.

Maybe something to think about?
